The American Royal 10 was first produced in 1913, and was so successful a design that it lasted until the early 1930's and provided the basis for all subsequent Royal office typewriters until production ended in the late 1960's.  The Royal Model H was the first real modernisation and update of the revered Royal 10, although mechanically it was very similar.  This particular typewriter is the uncommon 'Decimal Tabulator' version, hence the extra row of five keys above the keyboard.  The Decimal Tabulator is a special device which allows columns of figures to be typed with ease, for instance for pre computer-era spreadsheets or invoicing.  A 'normal' tabulator key is incorporated on the right hand side of the keyboard as well, should you not wish to use the decimal function.
 
This particular machine is fitted with a 14 inch carriage, originally intended for accounts work but equally useful for scrap-booking since it will take A4 and larger paper sideways if required.  It has all the features that you would expect to find on a full-size office typewriter including a generously proportioned 42-character keyboard with touch control operated by a thumbwheel at the back of the machine.  An indicator window in the right hand side panel shows the setting at a glance.  It also has a freehead for lining up pre-printed forms, and was originally configured as a 'quiet' model with a lead-lined platen and removeable baseplate underneath to cut down the sound.
 
Fully serviced and adjusted, plus fitted with a new rubber platen and rear feed roll, this machine wants for nothing and is ready to give many years of further sterling service to its' lucky owner.

 
PRICE £450

Due to size and weight, this typewriter would be best collected direct from me here in Suffolk
